Soil erosion is one of the important and worldwide environmental and economic issues. High amount of sediments accumulations behind the different structures such as dams requires several attempts to minimize their potential risks. Therefore, some quantified data will be needed in order to recognize those critical areas which requires urgent conservation. Since conventional procedures are time c...

splash erosion recognized as first stage of erosion process that results of bombing soil surface with rain drop. falling rain drops to soil surface resulted moving soil particles and destructing soil structure. at this research effects of various pam rate (0, 2, 4 and 6 kg.ha) on splash erosion on three soil textuere clay, silty clay and sandy clay loam was tested. simulations were done with ra...

For centuries tillage has been used to prepare suitable seedbed to grow crops, and to control weeds and incorporate fertilizers, pesticides, manures and other amendments. In early years conversion of native ecosystems by tillage helped to unlock nutrients stored in soil organic matter, and thus `mine' naturally fertile soils to grow crops with minimum inputs for the growing population. However,...

Soil erosion is a serious problem especially in northern parts of Iran. One themost important side effects on soil erosion may be the decline in qualities of soil refers toagricultural productivity. So it is very important to assess the soil erosion risk for thesustainable development of agriculture. This study outlines ways undertaken to provide anew tool to manage water erosion from physical ...

correct estimates of the risk of erosion at improve land management advice plays an important role. in this study, erosion risk zoning in the kan basin with area about 20571 ha in the northwest of tehran by using the experimental model mpsiac and geographic information system (gis) were investigated and by using the base maps and gis, layers of information were prepared. after collecting, prepa...

The freeze-thaw (FT) erosion is a type of soil erosion like water erosion and wind erosion. Limited by many factors, the grading evaluation of soil FT erosion quantities is not well studied. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the evaluation indices of soil FT erosion, we for the first time utilized the sensitivity of microwave remote sensing technology to soil moisture for identification of...
